Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 646 Fusang County King
He was very happy that the four tribes of Oirat were willing to submit tribute. He generously named Batuer Hun Taiji the King of Beiting County, and even conferred him the title of Khan King, which was higher than Taiji.

Let him and Chechen Khan stand side by side in the Tianshan Mountains, which can be regarded as mutual containment.

At this stage, the distance between the two sides is too far. Although the Gansu Hexi Corridor is now in the hands of Daming, it is in the hands of Outer Town, and Zhu Yihai doesn't have much actual control. Therefore, with the four parts of Moxi, it is mainly about trade.

It is good for the two sides not to fight, but to do business and mutual benefit. If they can unite and fight against each other, it will be better naturally.

Anyway, it's better than them messing around with the Empress Jin Tartars to deal with Daming.

Baturhun also brought several sons and a daughter for marriage.

Zhu Yihai canonized all his sons as county princes and Taiji. Baturhui also said that he would leave his eldest son Chechen Taiji and sixth son Galdan to guard Emperor Shaotian in Ming Dynasty.

The other two chiefs of Oirat also came with their children this time, driving cattle and sheep. Emperor Shaotian would not refuse anyone, although he also sent Liu Chao to see, saying that the daughters sent by the Mongolian Khans were actually The ones are not very good-looking, some are too thick, the skin is not very good, the face is red, and there is even a smell on the body.

But Zhu Yihai didn't care too much about these, he married relatives.

Those who came from the grassland, even the daughter of King Khan, were from the grassland tribes after all, and their living environment and living habits were different from those in the Central Plains.

But marriage now does benefit both parties.

And because Hou Jin likes to engage in marriages with relatives, all Mongolian ministries also actively propose marriages with relatives. Zhu Yihai refused to marry the daughters of the clan to the tribe, but even so, several Khan kings were willing to send their daughters, even if they were the sons of the Ming Dynasty. It doesn't matter if you don't send the princess.

The three parts of Mobei are also here.

Even the Tengjisi brothers from the left wing of Sunite, who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Monan Mongolia, also came in person.

Moxi and Mobei sent a total of nine grassland daughters.

Zhu Yihai also generously canonized nine county kings, King Khan.

Even Teng Jisi, who was on the left wing of Sunite, was named King Khan, and their sons and brothers were also named county princes, county princes, and county marquises.

Two provinces of Anxi and Beiting were also established in the Western Regions, and three provinces of Hanhai, Shanyu, and Anbei were established in Mobei. It was regarded as a division of these Khan kings, and it was also officially included in the ruling territory of the Shaotian Dynasty. Nominally.

Daming conferred nine county kings and added eight new provinces.

Qinghai, Xikang, Weizang, Anxi, Beiting, Hanhai, Shanyu, and Anbei are all under the jurisdiction of the eight Mongolian tribes in Mobei and Mobei.

The official border market tea horse trade mechanism was also formally established, and both parties were quite satisfied.

The king of North Korea brought his son and prime minister to pay tribute in person this year. He brought not only ginseng, cattle, cloth, and grain, but also princesses and beautiful women.

This is the second princess they sent into the palace.

As Daming's most loyal younger brother, Zhu Yihai is also very generous to North Korea. Last year, he helped North Korea establish a Beiya Guard Army, equipped with infantry, cavalry, artillery and water units, with a total of 2 soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers , a total of [-] people, all the equipment is produced by military factories such as Daming Zhoushan, Ningbo, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Yantai, etc. North Korea exchanges ginseng, rice, gold, silver, cattle and horses.

This new army of Korean Imperial Guards had partly crossed the Yalu River last year. Under the command of Shen Tingyang, together with Geng Zhongming, Li Chengdong, Zhang Guozhu, etc., they swept dozens of villages in the upper reaches of the Yalu River and reported beheading more than a thousand people. .

This time, they want to form a new army. At the same time, they also hope to increase trade and import more goods from the Ming Dynasty.They even hoped that Daming would help them mint North Korean silver and copper coins. They provided silver and copper materials and asked Daming to process and cast them for domestic circulation.

The Japanese shogunate also came to pay tribute.

Japan also came to pay tribute at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but was rejected by Ming Taizu, because he believed that the Ashikaga family of the shogunate could not represent Japan, and the so-called ministers had no diplomacy, and their status was not recognized.

Later, when Yongle became emperor, the Ming Dynasty accepted the request of Muromachi Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and sent envoys to confer him the title of King of Japan. When you go to North Korea, you are called the king of Japan.

At that time, Ashichi Toshimitsu could be regarded as reunifying Japan after the chaos, but he was only a shogun after all. This sign was quite useful to him, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't recognize him before.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu professed his vassal to Daming, but it caused dissatisfaction in the country.

During the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty conferred the title of Toyotomi Hideyoshi as king. This happened after the first Korean War.

Toyotomi sent envoys to Daming, proposing the seven peace clauses, marrying Princess Daming as Empress of Heaven, and resuming survey and cooperation trade. Enemy with Japan.

It is said that the governor Xiaonishi who was in charge of the envoy knew that the seven items would be rejected by the Ming Dynasty, so he colluded with the Ming envoy and forged Guan Bai's surrender form. After receiving the surrender form, Daming, after careful discussion about Japan's request for canonization, the Lord and Pai had the upper hand, and finally achieved the result of granting tribute but not tribute. Japan was canonized as a vassal state, and Hideyoshi was canonized as the king of Japan at the same time.

The conferred envoys of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Japan, awarded the golden seal, and bestowed court clothes.

Hideyoshi's envoys were welcomed by the suburbs, received the title, performed five prostrations, three kowtows, and mountain salutes.

Of course, Japanese historical materials claim that Hideyoshi was deceived, saying that Hideyoshi thought that the Ming Dynasty was defeated and surrendered, but in the end he warned and reprimanded Japan in the tone of the suzerain, so Hideyoshi repented.

But in fact, of course it would not be that simple, or else he would not have kneeled so happily to accept the canonization.

After all, Japan's own records also say that Hideyoshi happily accepted the canonization that day, and kowtowed and saluted.

It's just because Hideyoshi was very dissatisfied when the Ming Dynasty dealt with the relationship between Japan and North Korea, so he refused to recognize the canonization he had accepted before, tore up the alliance, and continued to send troops to North Korea, triggering the second war, but in the end it failed to reach ambition.

Of course, it is also true that Toyoda Hideyoshi was deceived by President Konishi.

He is very willing to accept the Japanese king enshrined by the Ming Dynasty, and he is also willing to let Japan be the vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but the premise is that the Ming Dynasty admits that it was the defeated side in the Japan-DPRK War, and if he wants to make concessions to Japan, especially when dealing with the relationship between Japan and Japan, he has to listen. Japan's, this is a prerequisite for their willingness to pay tribute.

President Xiaonishi exchanged his Seven Points of Peace for Guan Bai Jiangbiao, and in exchange for Daming to reprimand Japan and Hideyoshi in a suzerain tone, he was of course annoyed.

By 1600 AD, Tokugawa Ieyasu won the victory of Sekigahara cooperation, established the Tokugawa shogunate, and obtained the actual control of Japan. In fact, he has always been committed to establishing diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty, and also wanted to resume Kanhe trade.

It can even be said that they have worked hard, but it is a pity that no one paid attention to the Tokugawa family until Chongzhen hanged himself in the Ming Dynasty.

The Tokugawa family even asked Liu Qiu Wang Shangning to help mediate.

Later, the Tokugawa Satsuma clan daimyo led troops to break through Ryukyu and captured King Shang Ning. After actually controlling Ryukyu, he sent people to join the Ryukyu tribute team and trade with the daimyo in the name of Ryukyu.

At that time, Tokugawa had just unified Japan, but because of the invasion of North Korea and other reasons, it was isolated by its surroundings.

Out of the need for a stable rule, Tokugawa also wanted to resolve relations with neighbors such as North Korea and Ming Dynasty. Japan has a population of more than 2000 million and its handicraft industry is underdeveloped. Chinese goods have always been popular in Japan, especially the luxury goods needed by nobles. Imports from the Ming Dynasty and resumption of trade with Ming Dynasty are also urgently needed.

In particular, Japan has always worshiped foreigners. At that time, the most respected merchants of the Ming Dynasty, especially the aristocrats, did not look down on their domestic production. They consumed hundreds of thousands of catties of raw silk imported from the Ming Dynasty every year. The trade was cut off, and the Japanese aristocrats couldn’t stand it. .

Before the Tartars conquered Korea, they also sent envoys to Japan, but the Japanese ignored Hou Jin at all, thinking that they were barbarians.

When they entered the customs and occupied Beijing, the Japanese still rejected the initiative of the Qing people and refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty. Under the Japanese lock-up order, only a few ports were reserved, and only Chinese and Dutch businessmen went to trade. But the big ships were forbidden to go to sea.

However, since Zhu Yihai’s Northern Expedition to Shandong and moving the capital to Dengzhou, especially the huge changes brought to North Korea, the Japanese shogunate was also very surprised when even the Dutch, Portuguese, and Spaniards made concessions to Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Ming, the Great Emperor of Shaotian, let go of maritime trade and took a completely different route from Japan's national lock-up order, but he was able to become rich and powerful so quickly, he was actually quite shocked by the shogunate.

Japan opened up trade to the outside world before, but the Portuguese and others preached in Japan, creating a miasma, causing religious chaos, and finally forcing the shogunate to lock down the country.

But now seeing Daming turn around so quickly, the red-haired Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands were all put to the ground, they couldn't help being moved.

In the past two years, more and more ships from Tang Dynasty went to Japan, and the commercial goods also increased greatly. The shogunate inevitably began to send ships to Ming Dynasty. After Ming Dynasty supported North Korea and Ryukyu, Japan was actually very worried.

After all, Japan has fought North Korea before and has a feud.

Satsuma also sent troops to attack Liuqiu, actually controlling the Liuqiu Kingdom.

Of course, Japan also competed with Daming in North Korea before, and it didn't take advantage of it. What if Daming finds an excuse to trouble Japan?
The shogunate has been fighting for two years, and finally decided to show goodwill with Daming, not only increasing trade, but also actively paying tribute.

The shogunate even simply proposed that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Toyotomi Hidetomi, the two kings who were canonized by the Ming Dynasty, should also become ministers to the Ming Dynasty.

The Tokugawa shoguns were vassals of both the Emperor of Japan and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yihai is willing to pay tribute to the Japanese. He has been to Japan before, but it was only for trade. Now he is paying tribute and even calling himself a vassal.

They were willing to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty like North Korea, and Zhu Yihai did not refuse.

So this time, just like North Korea, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of Tokugawa, was canonized as the king of Japan, but the 14-year-old Emperor Goguangmei of Japan was canonized as the king of Fuso County, the king of Japan, and the next emperor. That is, the seventh female emperor of Japan, the sister of Emperor Goguangmei, the niece of Iemitsu Tokugawa, the 22-year-old Emperor Mingzheng is the Supreme Emperor of Japan.

Ming also reached a comprehensive friendship and trade agreement with Japan, and tomorrow the two countries will trade with each other without restriction.It also directly signed several major orders for the export of raw silk, tea, sugar and porcelain merchant ships, while Daming imported silver and copper to Japan.
